As they proceed their journey, they encounter three thugs making an attempt to rape a younger girl. Regardless of Jigen’s protest, Lupin rescues the lady. In gratitude, she takes them to her and her older sister’s residence, which occurs to be the mansion they deliberate to rob of a mysterious treasure.
Whereas Lupin revels with all of the younger ladies within the mansion, the blonde little sister pays a go to to her older sister to have a look at the treasure. The older sister obliges, however then pulls a gun, understanding it’s Fujiko in disguise. She medication Fujiko, then joins the occasion to seduce and encourage Lupin to drink extra. Jigen refuses to take part and leaves, taking an ornamental field.
A tiger assaults Jigen. He throws the field, which hits the tiger. The lid opens and a fuel escapes, turning the tiger outdated. Jigen then encounters Goemon and an outdated man, who was the younger, drunk man from earlier. He recounts saving a younger girl from a rape gang. In the meantime, Zenigata will get caught in the identical lure and brought to the mansion. The younger ladies ply the 2 with booze.
In the meantime, Jigen and Goemon try to get to the mansion. They fend off wave after wave of swimsuit babes with weapons. Within the mansion, Lupin cracks the secure, however apparently triggers the getting old fuel. As such, they let him go away with an enormous chest. Nonetheless, Lupin leaves a bomb which blows up the mansion, getting old the sisters. Lupin exhibits up with Jigen and Goemon and divulges he’s not outdated.

Ideas/Assessment
We get some blended fare with Lupin the third: Half II 22. On one hand, the episode is about huge fan service. There’s solely Barbie Doll nudity, however there’s a good quantity of open negligee/silk high photographs. On the opposite, there’s a a lot darker aspect to the episode.
Manga Adaptation
As I did my analysis for Lupin the third: Half II 22, I see it’s an adaptation of Shin Lupin III Chapter 4. That explains sure oddities with Lupin’s habits. Within the anime, Zenigata and Lupin not solely get drunk collectively, however in addition they wish to get freaky with the women…properly, throughout the limits of what a TV anime collection will enable. For comedy impact, we’ve seen Lupin try to dive onto Fujiko for intercourse. Right here, all that they had him do was snuggle, which appears out of character.
Nonetheless, within the supply manga, Lupin did very a lot have interaction in sexual actions with ladies within the mansion, together with the older sister. (And there was no Zenigata.) However on the finish of his enjoyable, he then remembered he needed to do one thing, upon which “Oneesan” gave him the field stuffed with the getting old fuel. But all of the whereas the women thought that they had Lupin dancing on the finish of their strings, he’d already stolen their treasure and exchanged it for the getting old fuel.
That feels extra like Lupin III. The anime makes it appear to be possibly he’s in management, because of his want for the treasure. The manga makes it clear that he already took care of enterprise, then had his enjoyable, fooling “Oneesan” and the women within the mansion.
Anime Darkness
Apparently, each the anime and the manga tales are a model of the Japanese people story, URASHIMA Taro. There, the present field merely incorporates Taro’s outdated age. So long as he doesn’t open it, I suppose he received’t age.
In Lupin the third: Half II 22, the explanation Oneesan has this fuel is extra of a thriller. It comes throughout as if she has a vendetta in opposition to males. So she will get them drunk, seduces them, then after they go away, they take a “present” which is a field stuffed with the getting old fuel. Sadly, the manga’s motivation for the fuel is simply as mysterious. Nonetheless, within the manga, it appears to be extra about organising the gag of scorching Oneesan getting outdated.
That stated, the anime provides a ton to the manga story, together with all of Fujiko’s stuff. Certainly, Fujiko’s stuff made no sense to me whereas she was disguised because the little sister (Imouto). The true Imouto was round, so no marvel Fujiko obtained caught so simply.
Nonetheless, the darkish aspect got here within the type of Oneesan drugging Fujiko in order that she’d by no means wish to go away the mansion. That implies that each one of the opposite women on this mansion are hooked on this drug. Additional, it apparently makes them desirous of intercourse, primarily based on what we noticed from Fujiko and the opposite women. Additionally, Lupin’s cause for destroying the drug backs this up. Actually jacked up state of affairs there. Once more, we don’t know the motivation for why Oneesan would do that.
Ultimate Ideas and Conclusion
Let me wrap up this evaluation with some remaining ideas.
Zenigata has no actual objective within the episode apart from to persuade the viewers that Lupin is as wasted as Zenigata. After all it’s all a lie. I actually dislike the, “Yeah, we confirmed you stuff, however every thing we confirmed you wasn’t precisely true.”
Goemon wasn’t within the supply manga story. Certainly, Goemon and Jigen battling to get again to the mansion is simply filler. Nonetheless, no less than they’ve objective.
In the long run, Lupin the third: Half II 22 is filled with ecchi fan service. On the identical time, it has some critical, darkish undertones. Nonetheless, these darkish parts aren’t explored, thus leaving really feel unhappy on the finish.
